Are there any government grants available?

While there is a possibility, most "grants" (in other words, financial assistance that is not repaid) often target specific clients with criteria you must meet to qualify. As a rule, there are no "grant programs" to assist with general small business start-up. Refer to the Business Link's website for the truth on government grants and a listing www.canadabusiness.ab.ca and click on Federal Provincial Grant.
